sorry if this is not considered a bug but on first trial of aptosid kde lite 2011-01 AND xfce 2011-01 (both i386 not AMD64)from a freshly burned cd i get a black screen instead of x starting on both systems,
and i have to reboot manually (no keyboard control at all)

well, my guess is, this problem is due to the graphics card. if you know which one is in the box, that might be enough already.
you can boot to init 3 and do all needed commands there, like infobash -v3.
to get to init 3, when booting, do: when grub screen comes, hit 'e'. that will take you to grub editor. now you see a few lines, one of them being the kernel line (ending with 'quiet'. move there and apend a '3'. then hit ctrl-x to boot. in init 3, logon as root and do, besides infobash -v3:

Code:

aptosid-paste -s codepad -c "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log"

This will return a URL that you can paste here, so we can look at the logfile.

...but if it is not yet installed, live-mode in init 3,
then there will be no /var/log/Xorg.0.log... not yet created... 8(
